State challenges accused’s bid to separate Mayville shooting charges from AKA–Tibz trial
The State says Lindokuhle Mkhwanazi’s application to have co-accused Siyanda Myeza tried separately is, in substance, a bid to separate charges rather than accused persons.
Seven individuals accused of the murders of rapper Kiernan "AKA" Forbes and businessman Tebello "Tibz" Motsoane have entered not guilty pleas in a Durban High Court, according to reports. The charges include double murder, attempted murder, and firearms-related offenses. The seven accused individuals are Lindokuhle Mkhwanazi, Lindani Ndimane, Siyanda Myeza, Mziwethemba Gwabeni, Lindokuhle Ndimande, Malusi Ndimande, and Siyabonga Ndimande.
The hearing took place on Monday at the Durban High Court. The accused appeared alongside Forbes and Motsoane, who were killed in a shooting incident on Durban's Florida Road in February 2023. The legal proceedings have been adjourned until Tuesday to allow the defense team to submit a replying affidavit and head of argument.
